Beryllium’s ability to deliver higher frequency output and lower distortion gives it a much-needed application in headphones.

With these exclusive, proprietary Beryllium drivers, Utopia brings you closer to your music than ever before. Their open-back construction opens the soundstage, putting you right in the room with the artist. From the roaring crowd on your favorite live album to the whispers of your favorite acapella singer, hear every dynamic pulse in the music as you have never experienced it before.
